AJ was marginally better this time and that must because of the work he has put in with his new trainer.

However he has had a major crisis of confidence and regressed since he fought Usyk. He is slowly building up his confidence but another fight before Wilder will not improve him enough to be certain he can beat Wilder.

I have always thought he can beat Wilder but do not know now. If AJ goes for the blow out he could get taken out by Wilder as he hesitates too much. If he boxes, waits for Wilder to tire and then take him out it risks AJ getting caught.

AJ wants another pay day and then face Wilder. Eddie looked very worried and will try and get another fight for him if he can.

Win or lose against Wilder, AJ will always have the fight with Tyson Fury in his back pocket. It will always sell.

AJ has 2 or 3 fights left in his career.
